I been hearing rumors that those cam gears slip on you...is this true?

 

nope....i run them...if they sliped im sure i woulda noticed one of the times i shifted at 9,800 at sac

 

that's just onces you went up there...i heard that someone's car blow up cause of aem cam gears...now i'm kinda scared to put on my cam gears...dont wanna be loosin a motor.

 

Then buy different cam gears, there are plenty in the same price range or cheaper. I have these and they do not slip.

AEM now makes gears with 5 bolts...

 

I have been running the old school AEM three bolt cam gears for about 4 years, and they have not slipped. Many of these horror stories about various products come from people who have made installation errors-i.e. did not torque the cam gear bolts correctly in the case of cam gears.

 

yea, it really depends on the installation and quality...i run old JG's and never had a problem. One friend is doing good with his AEM but my other friends AEM slipped. While on the dyno, my friend notice that one bolt was starting to strip, and since his cam gear only has 3 bolts, the 2 1/2 bolts isnt tight enough to keep it from slipping.

 

o ic...i would buy other cam gears but i aready have these ones in the garage...so it's kinda too late...i hope everything will work out ok for me...thx for the replies.

 

they never slipped on my sohc zc vtec. and i beat on it constantly.

and the motor is now in my friends eg 4 door, and the cam gear has not slipped.

mind you it was a 3 bolt too. so far from me and my friend.

^the horror stories come from people who didnt install them properly!

 

I havent heard anything bad about these cam gears.... well.... good luck anyways

 

how much is the bolts pose to be tq down?

 

i was going to ask that too as the instructions that came with my SRR never stated the tq specs.

 

aem gears come with torque specs... follow them and you wont have any problems.

 

Torque on my AEM gears is 19 ft-lbs.

 

this is on aem three bolt cam gears?

 

Yes.

 

I have no problem with my 3 bolt gears.

 

this is funny, as i said earlier in the tread, one of my friend has no slippage on his AEM cam gear...but he recently took them off to install new cams and finds out that the teeth on both cam gears are ALL TORN up. ironicly, THERE STILL NO SLIPPAGE!!! LOL

I going to see if we can get a new set or a refund for them...but they are over 3 years old. I will post pics soon if people want to see them...

from what i have seen thats not uncommon for any aftermarket cam gear...

 

4 years of running aem cam gears with 3 bolts and to this day...3 motors later...they still look new and work perfect

 

The AEM race car uses the cam gears so I am sure they dont slip.
